Game Animation: Most computer games revolve around characters that move around in a fluid and continuous manner. Unlike objects that move according to the basic laws of physics (e.g., balls, projectiles, vehicles, water, smoke), the animation of skeletal structures may be subject to many complex issues, such as physiological constraints (how to jump onto a platform), athletic technique (how a b...

This review focuses on dynamic causal analysis of functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) data to infer brain connectivity from a time series analysis and dynamical systems perspective. Causal influence is expressed in the Wiener-Akaike-Granger-Schweder (WAGS) tradition and dynamical systems are treated in a state space modeling framework. The nature of the fMRI signal is reviewed with emphasis on...
